Sample News
Releases for Clubs and Districts

Optimist International has developed a series of news releases that Clubs
and Districts can use in connection with their
participation in international programs and other activities. Please choose
either the .docx or .pdf version. Please note that the .docx version enables
users to type their information into fields*, while the .pdf files are for
viewing only.

*If your Optimist Club or District wishes to use its own letterhead, you can
remove the Optimist International logo in the document by opening up the Word
document, going to “View,” then “Toolbars” and selecting
“Forms.” When the “Forms” toolbar appears, click on
the padlock, then click on the Optimist logo and delete it. For those using
Microsoft Office 2007, click on the Microsoft Office button in the upper left
corner, go to “Word options” and then select the box next to “Show
the Developer tab in the Ribbon” and click “OK.” Above the
document, click the “Developer” tab and then click on the “Protect
Document” drop-down menu. Click on “Restrict Formatting and Editing.”
At the bottom of the new window to the right, click the “Stop Protection”
button.
